Welcome!
Red tea is Rooibos. It is made from a plant found in South Africa and technically is not a tea because it is not made with, well, tea. Pu Erh is either a green/uncooked or black/cooked tea. It is made from tea grown in China but is processed differently then a black, green, or oolong.

Yerba Mate is a plant grown in South America that is used to make beverages. The traditional way of drinking mate is to tightly pack the leaves into a gourd and add hot water. The same gourd full of tea is re-steeped many, many times. They normally add sugar, honey, or other sweeteners because the mate itself is bitter.

I make my mate using stove top coffee maker for a more concentrated flavor and then add it to slightly warmed milk. Yerba Mate Latte.
